TIME OUT!I

Wrote by 6 Comments


At the verge of the emotional cliff where I was meant to break I wrote this piece. Life is an assortment of uneven series of trouble served intermittently to the least expecting victims. I have been a victim, and maybe you have been too. No one is an exception to the shadows of life unless a different star other than the sun shines over them by day and a different heavenly mass other than the moon beams over them by night.

And to that respect I write to count my blessing for the past four years in college. And oh yes they are blessings that I shall never drain off my memories. I shall remain a ruminant to the blessing that came during the days I spent days without food yet had to attend my classes neither shall I forget the blessings that came with me being kicked out of my area of residence.

And be there an apt stand as to why I should forget the many days I begged my faculty administrators to let me sit my exam without having paid my fee? Absolutely not! I totally have no intent to assume the fact that I was blessed with shaky health that saw me spend days in the hospital beds debating on whether to take flight or fight for my life. And so grateful am I for the many nights I studied hard and gracefully failed my tests.

But then, should all these blessings overwhelm me? Should my ego be of an elated demeanor? I don’t concur. My pride shall not boil up. My head shan't be any higher than it has been. I refuse to be coiled into what all these occurrences have made me feel. And oh yes they might have brought a feeling, not so bearable, but what a bliss is it that feelings are temporal. And as such I always shall be of the stand to work on my attitude.

These blessings, I contend, shall never set a limit within me and in as much as the surrounding circumstances maybe harsh, I by nature shall remain a homeostatic being. My internal factors and strength shall be internally synchronized and when I feel overwhelmed I shall call for a time out. And unto myself I shall grant a pep-talk, unto myself I shall be cheer-leader, I shall be the motivator and the executioner.


I’m no longer a pauper, though not a tower of wealth yet. I have a roof over my head, my college is coming to a successful close and yet am still grateful. I maintain the positive energy. I am not bitter at anyone who brought me trouble. I am in perfect health and pretty soon a princess might let me get lucky with her heart. All I needed was a time out.
